So dreary old England is finally getting some long deserved sunshine which means it’s time to expose those pasty legs in your most aggressively flowery shorts, chug cider and eat questionable BBQ chicken. While your at it why not let this awesome playlist soundtrack proceedings with sunshine friendly music from the likes of Vampire Weekend, Mystery Jets and Belle & Sebastian. Now, where’s that after sun?

Euphoric Chillout – Volume 1

If you’re bored of regular chillouts why not try a Euphoric one. Here at SMP towers we like nothing better than listening to some Groove Armada, Zero 7 and Massive Attack to help us euphorically unwind after a hard days work. See you next month.
